If you go to CNN's home page, you will find an article where North Korea boasts it would win a nuclear war against the U.S.
Once you stop shaking your head at their little ego trip, you can read further down where it states they have "dismissed weapons inspectors, pulled out of the international nuclear anti-proliferation treaty and restarted its nuclear facilities. "
So. Both Iraq and North Korea have both broken treaties and agreements. Why shouldn't we be doing something about this? At what point is a military solution viable?
And if I recall correctly, the U.S. also pulled out of the anti-proliferation treaty, as well as several other treaties. Shouldn't someone be smacking us down?

Re:
The U.N. is a joke, becuase it seldom if ever DOES anything. For a global peacekeeping force to work, it has to be able to go in and have an effect. Which means all the countries in it have to step up and do their part.
The U.S. may be the last superpower in the world, but it has to play by the rules. So do the other countries.
